Dare Not Walk Alone Store

All profits from the sale of products in this store will go to non-profit groups working in the community where the civil rights documentary DARE NOT WALK ALONE was filmed. Directed by Jeremy Dean, DARE NOT WALK ALONE documents the untold story of one generation in America's oldest city risking everything for the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and of another generation, 40 years later, struggling to claim those rights. Described by critics as "a triumph of outrage and empathy" and "the most gritty version of civil rights I have ever seen," this is not your typical civil rights documentary. A moving soundtrack that ranges from gospel to hip-hop under-scores the quiet heroism of black and white protesters. Their willingness to continue, meeting all manner of indignities with nobility, while steadfastly refusing to meet violence with violence, won the day. There is no narrator, just the voices of those who participated, black and white, past and present, articulating the struggle to desegregate America. In the end, Dean's dramatic mix of contemporary interviews with archival footage -- some aired for the first time -- moves us to ask "How far have we come?" and "How far have we yet to go?"
